- The Kentucky Alliance Against Racist and Political Repression has joined the Louisville NAACP, Brent McKim and school board member Linda Duncan to support keeping JCPS Superintendent Sheldon Berman.

- The Pledge of Alleigance is/was a socialist plot developed by a Christian Socialist named Francis Bellamy. More on this later. [Camden County Tea Party Patriots]

- Ford Motor Co. will show an $8 billion profit for 2010. Eight Billion Dollars. Profit. And all without having hired one new, single, solitary worker at half the wages. That means they can afford the current wages and benefits of the employees and still make a ton of money. All they have to do is design good cars. Earth to UAW President Bob King: Wake up....you've been had!! [Insider Louisville]
